Episode 61: Capturing the underwater world with Ell Guihard

Next up in the Adventure series, Emma is joined by underwater filmmaker and photographer Ell Guihard. 

In this episode Ell shares her journey from being afraid to dip her toe in the ocean to a passion for ocean conservation and capturing the stories within it.

She talks about what inspired her to create her most recent film The Call of the Deep, which explores the profound connection between divers and the underwater world.

She also shares the challenges of creating underwater, the nature of tech diving vs recreational and how storytelling can help give the ocean a voice.

Expect to hear:

  • How Ell overcame her fear of the ocean

  • Her journey to becoming an underwater photographer and filmmaker

  • Her best advice for people thinking about scuba diving

  • The role of storytelling in ocean conservation

  • The challenges for women divers

Ell is inspiring, funny and frank and she is going to make you want to go scuba diving. I’m off to get my mask.
